It’s time for a new LucysBuzz. I’ve been waiting anxiously to put up this video. Our very own Lipton Jayawickrama was the Director of Photography. It’s a super commercial and was a super shoot, so says Lipton!

Last night Lakna
and I shot a Muslim waleema (the marriage banquet) at the Galadari Hotel in
Colombo. It was our third wedding there in a week and so we thought that it
would be the same food and rituals.

Well, weren’t we
surprised! It was a Malay Muslim wedding with loud music (all of my favorite
songs – I couldn’t help but sing along!) and dancing and lots of fun!

Plus, the father of
the groom had a secret surprise for the couple – a giant, football-field length
PINK CADILLAC! It was so uber super! We were rushed to get the photos though – I
wanted to spend an hour just with the couple, Aqeel and Tahanee, and the car,
but there was a ton of traffic, that, as typical, were impatient and honking
their horns to make us move out of the way. Plus all of the gaping bystanders
who wouldn’t move out of the picture!

Later, the groom’s
friends surprised him when they in-group lifted him up and carried him to the
hotel fountain and dumped him in! Our photographers scrambled fast to get a
shot!

All in all, it was
a fun night! Enjoy the photos! All the best to Tahanee and Aqeel for their life
ahead. And thanks to them for choosing us to photograph their Waleema. We loved
it.
